These three women have really taken their individual talents as musicians and woven them together into something pretty special. The harmonies are just magical.
Faultless beautiful music - makes you believe again in human beings. So much war, destruction and pain caused, yet also capable of such wonderful things
Saw, I’m with Her, a couple of weeks ago live in a Presbyterian Church in the middle of Belfast Northern Ireland, fantastic concert, three extremely talented musicians.
For people who say they don't make music like they use to, just listen to these talented musicians. Oh yes, and there are many more out there. Good music will never die!
Several years on, despite living in Australia, this version of Overland still makes me want to move to Chicago just so I can leave it for San Francisco. Stunning.
I feel like we've watched these three grow up. They were all prodigies but it's so good to see them transitioning to mature artists. Virtuosity and feeling.
This is my favorite band! They are the newest evolution of Sara Watkins' previous songwriting and performance skills with NickelCreek, and with the addition of Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O'Donovan, this trio is simply fabulous! Thank you, Ladies!
David Crosby's ringing endorsement of these ladies was very special and inspired me to find them. His fantastic compliment was dead on and now I know why he said they were the closest thing to CSN he's ever heard in terms of vocal harmony. And now ....I'm with them - as well !!
This is one of my favorites Tiny Desk Concerts - I play it often, and usually jump to other stuff by them when I do. The maturity of their music is astonishing, although they are all prodigies of sorts, so it shouldn’t be surprising; but it is still jaw-dropping every time I listen. Just fucking beautiful.
I’ve followed these young women’s career thru solos albums, Nickel Creek, Prairie Home, etc. They give me hope that the future of American music is secure from being co-opted by production & techno. It is here, shining in their voices, faces, hearts and hands.
Thanks to NPR I have discovered these 3 amazing musicians and they respective solo projects. Thank you Aoife O'Donovan, Sarah Jarosz and Sara Watkins for the constant wonderful music gifts you produce!
This generation of talents has imposed itself since they were still just young promises. Today it's really cool to see them shining on individual projects and together. I didn't forget the fantastic Chris Thile, and the Punch Brothers ...
Don't know how to express how much I love each of these lassies individually, but not near so much as I love what they have created together! The sum of the whole is greater........
When I shut my eyes I swear it's like listening to the soundtrack of a Joel and Ethan Coen movie. I love how they de-complicate reasonably complex pieces with clean elegant instrumental phrasing - not a wasted excessive note. And the vocals, they drop like pearls from their lips. Now I know that sounds like flowery praise but conventional critique language doesn't cut it. (for me anyway) They're quite extraordinary.
This three piece band is perfect. No hurry, no virtuoso picking (of course they're virtuoso already), no drums, no bass, no piano... But they can express all the things we need. Thanks for posting with nice sound.
Thanks Tiny Desk for featuring these three who are all with each other. I like their group name for its signification of their solidarity as artists. How anyone can interpret it any other way is beyond me.
You tube can throw up wonders sometimes. So I'm watching 'Lau' & as I'm watching I notice a video of them with Aoife...an artist I wasn't familiar with. I then watch her & she's great & then this follows on after that & so I find myself with new artists to go & see whenever they play nearby. Fantastic!
The part where they tune their instruments is a better song than most people hope to write even once in their career. Also: that coke joke had excellent timing. Well done, Sara without an H, well done.
Wow! This is fabulous. Love Sara Jarosz singing with the Milk Carton Kids at ACL. Great video. Look it up. These Tiny Desk concerts have me on a constantly evolving musical trail. I didn’t even know that was Sara Watkins at first. Just wow.
Chris Burnett I was locked in the same loop about that time Chris. I took to singing it as I walked the dogs, which got some strange looks. It goes right to the heart.
I like all this,but that last song is just the kind of thing that makes you think there is a story there that could have happened anytime in the last century or now it's timeless,and the way Sara sing's it makes me go wow.
Saw and heard them play at the Once in a Blue Moon festival in Amsterdam, August 25th. Amazing voices and fabulous instrumentalists! The best show for me there! Hope they will come this was again soon. Otherwise I have to fly over I guess. Keep it coming!
I adore Game To Lose. It caught my fancy when they were on Live from Here, and I never tire of it. The changing tones on a dime throughout with the tight harmonies (I love figuring out harmonies, I have an ear for it) just elevates the song.
Sara is my long lost crush from one of my dreams. I love the sound of all three ladies singing together, been following I'm with her since they started out. I need to see them sometime..
The voice. The harmonies. The emotion. The musicianship. Plucks the strings of my soul.
These three women have really taken their individual talents as musicians and woven them together into something pretty special. The harmonies are just magical.
They are brilliant and oh so refreshing!

I love Aoife's eyes ... you can tell that she is listening very carefully by looking at her eyes. These three artists are fantastic.

wot
they were here in ireland?
@@seamusdelahunty1615 Yes, Belfast 3 years ago
@@jimir68 why didnt ye tell me?

This is THRILLING! Some of the best harmony singing I've ever heard. What a mountain range of talent.
"mountain range of talent " = clever poetry :)
All bands linked to Nickel Creek are amazing. Without fail. I love all three of these women. Beautiful harmonies!
Heck yeah. Chills every time they sing "so long chicago". Great lyrics and quite good on the banjo/mandolin too.
That is the biggest, most enthusiastic crowd I've ever heard at a Tiny Desk concert!

This is special, even by NPR standards. The magic happens right away, I was quaking in my slippers. Best wishes for your tours.
This is my favorite band! They are the newest evolution of Sara Watkins' previous songwriting and performance skills with NickelCreek, and with the addition of Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O'Donovan, this trio is simply fabulous! Thank you, Ladies!
I love these three individually and together. I always love watching Aiofe enjoying her bandmates' playing and singing!
Saw them at the Atlanta Botanical Garden last year with Punch Brothers and Julian Lage as part of American Acoustic. Amazing show. They’re great live.
This performance is still magic.
Magical harmonies... I could listen all day. Such talented women.
I think Sara only makes new bands just to get on Tiny Desk :P Glad she's here again!
David Crosby's ringing endorsement of these ladies was very special and inspired me to find them. His fantastic compliment was dead on and now I know why he said they were the closest thing to CSN he's ever heard in terms of vocal harmony. And now ....I'm with them - as well !!
Not the first time I've watched this, but it still touches me deeply. Wonderfully written songs performed perfectly.
I'm a fan of Sarah Jarosz's solo music, I have absolutely no idea why I didn't know about this group, thank you NPR for bringing it to my attention.
I'm in the same boat! I knew she did a collab project with other artists but never checked into it. Glad Tiny Desk reminded me.
Yeah, her solo stuff is really nice.

If you like Aoife O Donovan check out Crooked Still. She is the lead singer and it's a great band
Listening to it for first time right now (Some Strange Country). I can see that it will be another top favorite, thanks Benjamin!
and you get to have the fiddling prowess of brittany haas !!!!
This is actually Sara Watkins's third Tiny Desk show! She's also played there with Nickel Creek and The Decemberists, two amazing bands. She da man.
Fourth, she was also on with the Watkins Family Hour tour.
Exquisite harmonies.... just beautiful.
NPR/ Tiny Desk, you’re a national treasure.
By far my favorite performance of their song Overland. Incredibly talented humble sweet humans.
Sean Patrick that is a great song and makes me pine for SF
I got chills as soon as Sara started singing. Absolutely incredible.

Such a singular demonstration of perfection.. my ears have never heard anything finer..🥰
Unreal timing, great performance, and among the very best folk performances, in my opinion.
Don't know how to express how much I love each of these lassies individually, but not near so much as I love what they have created together! The sum of the whole is greater........
Magic mix of talent and personalities. We are so fortunate to have them in our lives.

I've seen them live and it's pure perfection.

I swing by every now and then to partake again of these marvellous women and the generosity of their conspicuous talents. Always a joy.
Their harmonies remind me of CSN. In many ways they are similar, individually they are talented, together they are a force to be reckoned with
Tiny desk concerts are just the best.
The closest to perfection of any music I can think of.
The performance of these girls live is a fabulous experience. (Barcelona, Catalonia). Come back.
Still in love with all these songs and I can only hit the like button once.
As fantastic as these women are, they owe their sound engineer a big thank you.
Thanks Tiny Desk for featuring these three who are all with each other. I like their group name for its signification of their solidarity as artists. How anyone can interpret it any other way is beyond me.
Superb. Their performance at 2018 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass was uplifting and magical. Instant fan!!!
Here's a perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, and in this case that's REALLY saying something.
Yep, the parts are already brilliant !
I think they are all great but if you look into it Sara is the most talented of the group. All her work is amazing.
Phenomenal amount of musicianship in these three beautiful, talented, soulful women! Thank you! Love threes!
So glad I got to see these wonderful ladies live a few years ago. One of the best performances I’ve ever witnessed.
What lovely, moving songs. More please.
I’ve listened to these songs dozens and dozens of times. Game to Lose still gives me goosebumps, and Overland still makes me cry.
Love this music! Sara Watkins never disappoints. 2nd song is perfection.
the harmonies are outstanding !
The ache and emotion in Sara Watkins voice during Overland, just wow,saw them last month in Connecticut and the show has stuck with me.
these are by far my favorite musicians currently slugging it out. I love them, Jarosz the most, but together they are so great.
Loved Sarah Jarosz since she was in High School.... they are great together! Wimberley loves you! xo
Major kudos to the performers and the recording engineer here, absolutely stellar moments in there.
Coming back to this one after a while...It's still magic. What talented ladies.
I’ve watched this a dozen times...and it just keeps getting better. Sad I missed them when they came through LA.
So much purity here. I've watched multiple times over already.
me to!
Their talent always astounds me!!! Thank you Tiny Desk for showcasing such incredible musicianship and vocal talent!
Aoife O'Donovan's voice is my Patronus.
Have u seen her performing Joni Mitchel ?? Outstading...
Damn, I wish I knew they were there, I would have been there. Their voices are like angels.
Such beautiful harmonies. Makes me think of the indigo girls. Such young women. May they go far.
Indigo Girls, yes, spot on.
These women are beautiful artists...that is wonderfully peaceful and soulful music...Much Love ✌️❤️😁!!!
I adore this trio.
I’ve been waiting on a second album from them for so long 😭
Overland - chills, man. Especially when they hit that chorus.
You tube can throw up wonders sometimes. So I'm watching 'Lau' & as I'm watching I notice a video of them with Aoife...an artist I wasn't familiar with. I then watch her & she's great & then this follows on after that & so I find myself with new artists to go & see whenever they play nearby. Fantastic!
It's so cool how they change their roles. Great shit.
The part where they tune their instruments is a better song than most people hope to write even once in their career.
Also: that coke joke had excellent timing. Well done, Sara without an H, well done.
I've written songs since I was in my teens, and I agree. I wish i had a quarter of these beautiful ladies' talent.
Wow! This is fabulous. Love Sara Jarosz singing with the Milk Carton Kids at ACL. Great video. Look it up. These Tiny Desk concerts have me on a constantly evolving musical trail. I didn’t even know that was Sara Watkins at first. Just wow.
I'm going to see them in Houston tomorrow night, can't wait. Saw Sarah Jarosz there in October, it was incredible.
Congrats on the grammy!
The Dream Team of Angelic voices! It's all sweatness folks!
Veritas , Sweetness, surely?
This is my favorite band! That's saying a lot! I've been a fan of each of these talented women individually for many years!
YESSSS!!!...so funny I've been listening to their version of crossing muddy waters non-stop the last two days!
Chris Burnett I was locked in the same loop about that time Chris. I took to singing it as I walked the dogs, which got some strange looks. It goes right to the heart.
I like all this,but that last song is just the kind of thing that makes you think there is a story there that could have happened anytime in the last century or now it's timeless,and the way Sara sing's it makes me go wow.
You girls were soooooo amazing!
These incredible women were born to play and perform together. Love them!
Love you Ladies ❤so beautiful 💐
What an amazing trio of harmony. So impressed!
I think this is my favorite Tiny Desk Session ever.
This live performance beats hands down all the other ones I've heard so far... The emotion in Overland sent me flying in the air. WOW
What an absolutely amazing performance!
Saw and heard them play at the Once in a Blue Moon festival in Amsterdam, August 25th. Amazing voices and fabulous instrumentalists! The best show for me there! Hope they will come this was again soon. Otherwise I have to fly over I guess. Keep it coming!
Jarosz is one hell of a talent
Blue grass/celt folk to the world
There's something about the way Jarosz does all that AND makes it look effortless.
Great and beautiful blend of voices.
heard them sometime late last year at public radio. Haunted me today and searched frantically for two hours. Found them. Im good now.
Thnx again girls...been waiting for you guys to play tiny desk.....great Nashville gig....hope to see you on tour again...one ❤️
I adore Game To Lose. It caught my fancy when they were on Live from Here, and I never tire of it. The changing tones on a dime throughout with the tight harmonies (I love figuring out harmonies, I have an ear for it) just elevates the song.
I love NPR! This is great stuff.
CAWmen Bow Wow!!! "Overland" put me way over the top!!! Just Flawless!!! Thank you!!!!
Those mics and voices together. 10/10
isnt there just one mic?
Listen to this in 24bit. Blow you away
Excellent! Harmony & lyrics are superb.
Wonderful. I have very diverse taste in music and typically i'm not into country but I have to say i love your music. Just lovely.
Went to the show, it was great, as expected. See them if you can, you'll be glad you did.
These ladies are a talented..class act...!!!!!
This might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Absolutely love these ladies! Magical.
Nice. I could listen to them all day.
Sara is my long lost crush from one of my dreams. I love the sound of all three ladies singing together, been following I'm with her since they started out. I need to see them sometime..
Could listen to these women all day long!
